Great Ness and Little Ness Parish Council has objected to Shropshire Council over plans by Great Ness Poultry Farm Ltd for four bird rearing buildings, a biomass building, 10 feed bins and other buildings by the A5 at Kinton Farm near Nesscliffe.
The company behind the proposals said the development would help cut food miles by reducing the need to import foreign-produced poultry.
But the council said the development's impact on residents, its visual impact, the effect on the community, pollution and waste management, and working hours on the site made it undesirable.
